5. Linksys WRT610N Simultaneous Dual-N Band Wireless Router
Editors' rating: 7.9
The good: Compact, internal antenna design; supports both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz Draft N simultaneously; network-attached storage functionality; runs cool; supports Wi-Fi-Protected Setup.
The bad: Short one-year warranty; 2.4GHz close-range and mixed-mode throughput could be better; expensive.
The bottom line: The WRT610N can satisfy both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz wireless clients with its solid performance, great design, ease of use, and its ability to work as a network storage device when coupled with an external hard drive.
